A Topical Treasury of Proverbs

“I have been so blessed by my daily readings from this book. Subjects chosen are clear and contemporary and give the reader a comprehensive teaching on each subject; includes a daily reading plan of Proverbs by subject and a verse listing of every topic in each verse. The book is an excellent contribution to an understanding of the book of Proverbs. I am amazed at the depth of research that has been put into this book – the time spent on each verse to classify subjects is truly remarkable.”

Tom's Corner
Benefits of This Book Tom Clarke

Since the publication of A Topical Treasury of Proverbs, I find myself using this book as a tremendous time-saver. Imagine trying to find the 46 verses related to parenting, or the 41 verses related to discipline in Proverbs. By using the categories in this way, I find the full teaching very quickly.

One lady told me that she uses this book when she writes greeting cards for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. If she wants to encourage a person to keep up their faith, she turns to the topic of 'Faithfulness'; if she feels that restraint is appropriate, she turns to the topic of 'Self-control'; and so on. In this way, she believes she is more effective in finding just the right Proverbs verse for the situation.
